G. IPI Battery Tray/Battery Installation
The IntelliFire PlusTM system has a battery backup option.
Battery longevity and performance will be affected by the
service temperatures of this appliance.
NOTICE: Batteries should only be used as a power source
in the event of an emergency such as an outage.
H. Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.3.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI fl ame setting, with no adjustment in fl ame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the fl ame output can be adjusted with the HI/LO
selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3. Note
that the fl ame HI/LO selector switch will become inactive
once an optional remote control (RC200/RC300) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the fi replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the fl ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the fl ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the fl ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fi replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the RC300
remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300 remote control to operate your fi replace,
the wall switch will override any commands given by
the remote.
5. Module Reset
This module may lock-out under certain conditions.
When this occurs, the appliance will not ignite or
respond to commands. The module will go into lock-out
mode by emitting three audible beeps, then continuously
displaying an error code at its status indicator LED.
• Check battery tray. Remove batteries if installed.
Batteries should only be installed for use during power
outages. See Section G.

L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue fl ames
Odor from fi replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fi replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the fi replace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this fi replace may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
fi nishing materials and adhesives used near the fi replace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the fi replace.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling fi restops and wall shield
fi restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi re-
stops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300º F continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk
with a minimum of 300 ºF co ntinuous exposure rating or
stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the
room.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other
than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specifi ed air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fi replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fi re.

H. Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal
Termination
WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and fi re,
heat shields must extend through the entire wall thickness.
• DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the wall
shield fi restop and the horizontal termination cap.
• Heat shields must overlap 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) mini-
mum.
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section
is factory-attached to the wall shield fi restop. The other
section is factory-attached to the cap. See Figure 10.18.
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 in.
(38 mm) heat shield overlap when installed, an extended
heat shield must be used.
• If the wall thickness is less than 4 in./102 mm (DVP), the
heat shields on the cap and wall shield fi restop must be
trimmed. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap MUST
be maintained.
• Use an extended heat shield if the fi nished wall thickness
is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184 mm).
• The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length
maintaining suffi cient length for a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap between heat shields.
• Attach the extended heat shield to either of the existing
heat shields using the screws supplied with the extended
heat shield. Refer to vent components diagrams in the
back of this manual.
• Rest the small leg on the extended heat shield on top
of the pipe section to properly space it from the pipe
section.
Important Notice: Heat shields may not be fi eld constructed.
I. Install Horizontal Termination Cap
WARNING! Risk of Fire! The telescoping fl ue section of
the termination cap MUST be used when connecting vent.
• 1-1/2 (38 mm) minimum overlap of fl ue telescoping
section is required.
Failure to maintain overlap may cause overheating and
fi re.
• Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding
may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
• Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at
outside edges of cap.
• When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow
the cap location guidelines as prescribed by current
ANSI Z223.1 and CAN/CGA-B149 installation codes
and refer to Section 6 of this manual.
CAUTION! Risk of Burns! Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone
from touching the hot cap.
NOTICE: For certain exposures which require superior
resistance to wind-driven rain penetration, a fl ashing kit is
available. When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension
kit is available for framing the brick.
Note: When using termination caps with factory-supplied
heat shield attached, no additional wall shield fi restop is
required on the exterior side of a combustible wall.
